The problem most Christians have with their faith is that they turn their Christianity off and on. Jesus said that people will know we are His disciples if we obey His teaching.
This is my first attempt at a video blog. I call it “Disciple?” I enjoyed doing it and hope to do them regularly.

I came across this article by D. James Kennedy written in 2002…..You always hear a lot of talk about our founding fathers and whether they were Christian or not. It is obvious when reading their writings that a good portion of them were Christian, some were deists. If that subject is interesting too you, I [...]
